Wait, two records? Is that the expanded remastered version? I stopped buying vinyl decades ago so haven’t really kept up. Original was a single record in a gatefold with the full graphics on the inside.
Yeah I think your correct. One record, but but it folds open with that photo on it.
The one I have is original release. It's in my stash among hundreds of other records so I don't see it often.

"Gatefold" is the term for that. Fo' sure back in the day, those type of album jackets were cooler than the single ones. Besides graphics and lyrics printed on the inside, the gatefold could be used for other youthful activities. IYKYK.

Neil Young - Live Rust

Back-in-the-day when I worked in a record store (“Records Hawaii”), my co-worker, Earl, would almost always play sides 3 and 4 ‘cause it was the 3-chord, electric guitar solo sides. None of that pansy acoustic guitar or piano stuff. “Hey, hey, my my, rock ‘n roll can never die….”

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Very Best of Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I was never much of a fan of ELP but on a FB turntable group that I’m in, there were a few posts about the group so I requested a few titles from the library to see if I was missing out on something. On this CD, I recognized “Lucky Man” and “From the Beginning” but that’s it so far. Trying to keep an open mind but think I may have to drop some acid to truly appreciate these guys.

Edit: No disrespect to fans of the group but man, that was a waste of time! I am not a fan of lead synthesizer music!
